Distinguish Confusing Law Articles for Legal Judgment Prediction

Xu, Nuo, Wang, Pinghui, Chen, Long et al.

Understand

Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP) is the task of automatically predicting a law case's judgment results given a text describing its facts, which has excellent prospects in judicial assistance systems and convenient services for the public.

In practice, confusing charges are frequent, because law cases applicable to similar law articles are easily misjudged.
For addressing this issue, the existing method relies heavily on domain experts, which hinders its application in different law systems.
In this paper, we present an end-to-end model, LADAN, to solve the task of LJP.
